Multiprocessing list of dictionaries dont process duplicate key, value pairs at the same time

I am new to multiprocessing and have hit an issue I'm unable to solve. I have a list of dictionaries that looks similar to this (with many more dictionaries), that have duplicate 'device_name' key, value pairs (i.e. - 'device_name': 'name1'):

DEVICE_LIST = [{'device_name': 'name1', 'config': '!\nint  Gi1/0/10\n des TEST INT DESC\n!', 'job_id': 1, 'hostname': 'name1.device.com', 'ip': '1.1.1.1', 'ping_result': 'UP'}, {'device_name': 'name2', 'config': '!\nint  Gi1/0/10\n des TEST INT DESC\n!', 'job_id': 1, 'hostname': 'name2.device.com', 'ip': '2.2.2.2', 'ping_result': 'UP'},  {'device_name': 'name1', 'config': '!\nint  Gi1/0/11\n des TEST INT DESC\n!', 'job_id': 1, 'hostname': 'name1.device.com', 'ip': '1.1.1.1', 'ping_result': 'UP'}]

I am sending the dictionaries to a function that logs into the device and executes configuration changes and captures data related to that transaction. Currently I'm sending the list to the function using pool.map like this:

import multiprocessing.dummy as mp

# Set pool size
pool = mp.Pool(10)

# Send the device list to the function using
CONFIG_RESULTS = pool.map(config_function, DEVICE_LIST)

What I would like to accomplish is if the key, value pair 'device_name': 'name1' is already being processed do not process any other instance of 'device_name': 'name1' until the first one has finished, as I don't want two configuration activities happening on the same device at the same time. Any thoughts?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
